ANATOMY AND INTUITION
with
Caitlin Schmitt

A commission always begins with a conversation, we discuss your needs and desires. Your intentions may matter deeply to you and I'd love to learn all about why you are commissioning this work of art. The most popular commissions are healing portraits and bridge portraits, however I am very open and receptive to creative and collaborative ideas for what your specific commission process looks like. 1. Healing Portrait Paintings: These begin with an intuitive creative session together. I engage with your spirit and energy deeply to attune to the we develop a healing framework through which I approach the commission to support, process, and capture visually your healing journey. As I paint, I connect to you with distance reiki and engage with intuitive healing guides. (click link to learn more) 2. Bridge Portraits: These portraits connect you to a lost loved one on the other side. This process is incredibly in-depth, intimate, and may take longer than the other commission processes due to the healing, collaboration with other healers, and time and energy they require from me.

Connecting with Guides or Spiritual Energy: I will work with any specific healing energies, historical figures, angels, plants, animals, ancestors or spiritual support that you wish to connect with. The painting will act as a conduit, an anchor, and a reminder of your relationship to this divine energy. Typically, these paintings are placed on an altar or space in the home dedicated to meditation and spiritual practice. 5. Simple Constraints Painting: If you know the size you want or perhaps the colors you like and that's all you care about, great! Just tell me what you need and send photos where the painting will be and I'll create something that suits those needs. I'll need to see the room it is meant to be in before beginning and also hear from you what you love in art. A good place to start is scheduling a consult call with me to clarify!

Hell yes! I'm open to painting together or doing a live event together or just talking about creativity in general! I love to collaborate, just fill out the contact form.

Yes! For a good and loving home, I'm more than happy to discuss a sliding scale or payment plan with you.

Gosh, I get this question a lot and the truth is it's a very long, mostly non-verbal answer. The most important turning point toward honoring my inner wisdom and listening to my path began during my early experiences receiving craniosacral therapy. I was 25 years old and it was the first time I realized that having no-agenda and full body presence were absolutely vital to the healing process. This gave me the space to deeply listen and deeply shift my nervous system, and over the years as I became more attuned, I found myself able to say no to the things that were not working for me and trust that I could make choices towards the compass of my heart and soul. My spiritual intuition developed rapidly after my first usui reiki training in 2019 and deepened as I practiced and became a master/teacher. I always recommend finding an energy healing tradition with a strong mentor to folks interested in the kind of healing work I do. My favorite local teacher is Kathy Hampton. The last thing I'll say is that daily meditation practice, impeccable self care, and a large support team of healers that are also energetically and spiritually experienced is vital. If you'd like to have a mentorship session with me to explore this further, please contact me and we will schedule a phone call. My regular rates apply of $150/hour.
